The Media Studies and Popular Culture in Contemporary Japan Conference brings together leading scholars from the U.S. and Japan to discuss emerging questions and recent research related to Japanese film, media, and culture studies. Mixing structured scholarly presentations with open-ended dialogue and exhibitions of creative work, the conference connects a range of perspectives in Japan Studies to broader dialogues in the humanities writ large.
